Inspiration for your road to the altar

The weather is finally starting to cool off in North Carolina and this gorgeous wedding in the foothills of Idaho is getting me in the mood for fall! Ashley & Brian’s closest friends and family all hiked up a path to the top of a hill in the gorgeous Boise Foothills (that happens to sit right behind the groom’s family home) for their intimate nuptials. Brian’s brother performed the ceremony and asked all of the guests to step in close around the couple as they said their vows. After the ceremony, guests rallied back down the hill and enjoyed a cocktail hour where gourmet appetizers were passed and everyone could enjoy an oyster bar along with the couple’s signature Mojitos. The bold fall colors were such a lovely choice and look at their gorgeous dog keeping watch over the ceremony – he even has a matching collar!

I always live it when a bride commits to a bold color palette, so Kerri & Jason’s orange and pink color combination was an instant favorite! The couple originally wanted to be married at the World’s Fair Pavilion, but when the venue was booked they incorporated the vibe they wanted to achieve into a new space. During the reception Kerri’s was surprised by a phone call from her sister, who was at home on bed rest and about to have a baby. The DJ put the call on speaker phone and by the time the conversation was through there wasn’t a dry eye in the house – such a sweet moment!

Sharon and Ivan were married this past December in Los Angeles, in an understated but beautiful affair. To sum up the wedding, event coordinator Krista Cremidan of Nouveau Events said, “Their quiet personalities were reflected in the subdued and beautiful color pallete they chose, made up mainly of light pinks. The reception centerpieces were also simple and elegant bringing, a slight hint of color to the table tops. The reception colors were punched up at the after party where close friends and family mingled under a canopy of strung lights and glowing paper orb shaped lanterns. Tea lights lined the windowsills and added to the loungy laid back, yet hip feel.”
